Notes — Fusichalara dimorphospora differs from the similar F. novae-zelandiae by larger phialides and characters of conidia. Thefifirst conidia are wider and pale brown to brown (v subhyaline to pale brown in F. novae-zelandiae) except for the hyaline basal cell, and possess more septa, typically are 11–17 transversely septate but occasionally with one or a few oblique septa, the subsequent conidia are 7-septate, longer and wider with transverse septa only (Hughes & Nag Raj 1973)

Notes — The holotype PDD 21599 contains both asexual (Hughes & Nag Raj 1973) and sexual (Réblová 2004) morphs; however, the sexual morph was not mentioned in the protologue of this species, originally described as the asexual morph. Fusichalara dingleyae is distinguished from the other two core species by reddish brown conidiophores, typically growing in fascicles and tightly adhering to each other, and hyaline, 7(–16)-septate conidia that possess only transverse septa, have a conspicuous marginal frill and are basally truncate. It is also the only species known so far to form a sexual morph. In culture, we observed that phialides frequently extended percurrently. In contrast, F. dimorphospora and F. novae-zelandiae have brown to dark brown conidiophores, growing either solitarily or in groups. Their conidia lack a marginal frill and differ in terms of shape, size, septation (generally having more septa), and colour distribution (with pigmentation in the middle cells and one or both end cells being hyaline). Their growth in culture has not been documented.

Stanjehughesia silvana is closely related to S. hormiscioides, but differs from it in having shorter ascospores that remain hyaline at maturity and conidial traits; conidia are shorter and slightly narrower, contain a conspicuous central pore at the septa and the apical cell does not differ in colour from other cells.
